The integration of natural science and spirituality is accomplished by putting consciousness into the equations of the quantized relativistic model of reality. This approach, with a quantum calculus based on the precise empirical data provided by the Large Hadron Collider, leads to the discovery of gimmel, the non-physical third form that must exist in addition to mass and energy, in order for there to be a stable universe.

SPACE-TIME AND THE BIG-BANG PARADOX

MORE ABOUT SPACE-TIME

In a previous post I pointed out that the new paradigm, TDVP,
the paradigm that includes consciousness as an integral part of reality, agrees
with Einstein’s view that space-time is not something that has an existence of
its own. This is a radically different understanding of space and time, very
different from the concepts we operate under in our daily lives: Largely because
of the limitations of our physical senses, we are under the illusion that space-time
exists like an empty field through which things move. With the inclusion of consciousness
as a participating part of reality, of importance at least equal to mass and
energy, like Einstein, we see that space and time are extensions of the
substance of reality, and while reality is dynamic, the substance of reality is
neither created nor destroyed. Thus the universal law of conservation of mass
and energy is incorporated into a broader law of conservation of the substance
of Reality, and there is no beginning or end, only change. This requires a new
look at concepts like entropy and complexity, as they have been defined by
physicists.

ENTROPY

Entropy
is defined as the inverse of organization and structure. The highly structured
and mathematically ordered universe we see now, is a state of low entropy. But,
according to the latest information from the Hubble telescope, the universe is
expanding at an ever-increasing rate toward maximum entropy, where maximum entropy
is defined as the complete lack of structure. As the substance of the universe dissipates
as the universe expands, entropy increases. This is consistent with the second
law of thermodynamics which says that physical systems always tend to
disintegrate, or ‘run down’, over time, explosion or no explosion.

COMPLEXITY

To
measure the complexity of the universe, physicists and cosmologists use Kolmogorov
complexity. This measure of complexity is defined as low when the universe can
be described simply, and greater when it requires more detail to describe the
universe. For example, a universe consisting of nothing but expanding plasma, or
nothing but a quark soup, would be one of low complexity, while a universe
consisting of many elements, compounds and organisms would be one of a much
higher complexity.

ENTROPY vs COMPLEXITY

So entropy is the inverse of complexity: high entropy means low
complexity, and low entropy means high complexity. This works looking into the
future of the expanding universe: From this point of low entropy and high
complexity on, entropy will increase and complexity will decrease as the
universe expands and complex structures break down. But looking back toward the
big bang, we have a problem.

THE BIG-BANG EXPANDING UNIVERSE PARADOX

In the standard model, running the clock backwards conceptually,
cosmologists conclude that the universe began with the explosion of an
extremely hot, dense mass about13.7 billion years ago. An explosion with its subsequent
expanding debris field never creates order and complexity in opposition to the
second law of thermodynamics; to the contrary, an explosion always creates
disorder and chaos. So the complexity of the universe should have been maximum
just after the big bang, decreasing ever since. The problem is that the
standard model has no explanation for the low entropy and high level of
complexity we find in the current universe. In fact, the standard model cannot
explain why there is even one stable atom, or for that matter, why there is a
universe at all.

THE ANSWER

With the discovery of gimmel and the development of TRUE unit
analysis, we have, for the first time in the history of modern science, the
explanation. In the standard model, consciousness is considered to be an accidental
consequence emerging from the random occurrence of self-organizing structures.
But there is no explanation of how the second law of thermodynamics was
overcome, or what the mechanism of self-organization might be. We have shown
that gimmel, the third form of the substance of reality, has to be a part of atomic
structure, from quarks to the simplest triadic combination, the hydrogen atom,
to provide the stability necessary to sustain the physical universe. But gimmel
is not an emergent feature, it had to be there before the first stable particle
could form.

SPACE-TIME

So space-time has no existence apart from mass, energy and
gimmel, which, in accordance with the conservation of the substance of reality,
the mathematical geometrical logic of the calculus of distinctions, and the
Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics have no meaningful existence
until irreversibly registered in the consciousness of an observer. As Einstein
said: “Reality (as we know it) is an illusion”. The question now becomes: to
what extent are we free to consciously shape the nature of reality, present, past
and future, within the logic of the conscious primary substrate?
